Wouldn’t it be great if the next time you were stranded in an airport because your flight was delayed, you could actually spend your time at the bar with other like-minded professionals? A business trip would take on a whole new life -- from copious amounts of wasted time (seeking fast food and a way to recharge your phone) to a more plugged in experience.

Here On Biz, a mobile application for business executives to connect in real time, uses ’s platform and helps you to actually physically meet with others that share your industry, alma mater, or job title.

After traveling to 40 states over the course of a year while working on another startup, founder Nick Smoot and business partner Allen Hartwig realized how much down, dead time they were spending in airports.

“We kept realizing we were bastardizing social network platforms just to keep in touch with business professionals. There was nothing real time. Nothing geo-aware,” said Smoot.

“There was no way to figure out who was in town, who would be up for grabbing a drink. My partner Allen and I started talking about how to fix that.”

What they created was a mobile app they built in 10-weeks. It was quickly embraced by many on LinkedIn.

The average LinkedIn user earns $91,000 per year -- from that figure, we can generalize, that higher ranking professionals are trying to connect on the site. Here On Biz adds to LinkedIn’s social offering, by making a mobile, geo-aware component.

“In our app, you have people who have real jobs, who are making money, who want to connect,” said Smoot.

The app’s algorithm knows: where you are, who you know (based on who you are connected to on LinkedIn), what industry you work in, job titles similar to yours, and your college. It connects professionals based on those attributes.

When you are in close proximity to those that you might know (or those that are already in your network), you get a push notification to let you know who else is in your same area. The other party receives the same push notification.

“The app basically tells you: You’re both here. There’s a ridiculous serendipitous moment that should happen,” he said, describing the app’s ideal function, which is bringing like-minded executives together in real life.
